There's nothing to be sad about my dear.. Our timelines in life are different so I'll encourage you to pursue your dreams.. First thing is to get admission, ensure to select a high skilled course that is poorly taught in Nigeria and a school whose tuition fees u can prove to afford all through the duration of ur study.. Kindly start looking for admission & read this thread very well.. All the best & Congrats for wanting a better life

Toluchenko:
Mehn bro...I have been thinking of the story I will tell on why I would want to return to my family, I just dey blank. I am still trying to rack my brain though.

I am going for Chemical Engineering (MSc). Would me putting something like "the oil industry of Nigeria is not fully developed at the moment and I would love to use the knowledge acquired to solve the problems" be enough as home ties??

Anyone with ideas please...

My DEAR

Some where up there i also wrote it is an opinion and also based on information and experience .
Everytime you people will be asking of source , is there anywhere that there is a source of VISA approval/Rejections?

You went on to give us a name of JUST one person , NAIJAFOREIGNER? not 100 people not 1000people?

How many people are following this thread?
How many people are replying this comment?

But you only one person who had 2.1 and went to College? Do you know how many people apply to college from Nigeria alone? use this page as a guide , you will be surprised, then follow up with them one after the other and ask them about their application and how it went.

Most of them even backed out and have left NAIRALAND.

I wrote my experience down and you are countering with mere sentiments? do you know how many college applications i am personally aware of? they are not even on this page, even some people who live in Europe who came back to Nigeria Just to apply.... This Naija people dey tire sometimes.

My brother if 100 people Applied to College in Canada with 1st Class or 2.1 or 2.2, Tell anybody anywhere that i said it, Less than 10 People will get Approval, Come up with your content and i will waiting.

STOP making people throw their Monies away for nothing. If you want Send your application to the best Pastor to pray on it, if na College oo, Your application change is through the eye of the needle.

Mind you , If you are applying for COLLEGE, be aware!

Good evening all. My application got refused based on inability to demonstrate sufficient fund for my tuition and living expenses. My sponsor has a balance of 20m in the account I submitted. I don't actually know how to go about this. Please I need your support towards my next application

ThowLou:
Good morning all, kindly assist with advise or steps to take to respond to the VO. Study permit application was rejected.

“I am refusing your application on the following grounds:

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.

Based on the purpose of your visit
Based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence
Based on your personal assets and financial status

Kindly advise on what can be done. Thank you

Jus4c:
Hello everyone, I received my Approval in Principle (AIP) letter yesterday, 1st September,2020. Below is my timeline:

Application Submitted: 7th August,2020
Request for Biometric(BVL): About three hours same day, 7th August. The BVL letter was meant for my spouse, as I have a TRV already, and as such had done biometric for previous TRV application.
Biometric Completed: 20th August,2020
GCMS Notes Ordered: 30th August 2020 : I chose to place this order because my profile was showing ‘We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements’ Since 23rd of August. So, I was curious to know the status of my application. Now that the AIP has dropped before the outcome of the ordered GCMS note, I can use the result of the GCMS note to know if the AIP still stands, since the current study permit application process appears not to be predictable.
Medical: Exempted due to my current location of residence
Approval in Principle (AIP): 1st September, 2020
This application is for the Winter of 2021. I wish everyone the best.

Toluchenko:
Good morning bro and everyone that has been of help.

I have a question about this home-tie parole. I dont have any home-tie except my family (i.e. my parents and siblings). No building, business...

Do you think this strong enough?

Dos2020:
Evening,

Was denied (earlier this year)on the ground of purpose of visit. Please how can I tackle this?

What do I need to support my reapplication, SOP or LOE? Or both? What is the difference.

Gurus, elders pls come to my rescue.

Thank you.

@Fgmp12.
You may be right as we are all trying to be safe and not to loose huge sum.
Categorically IRCC stated that having AIP is not subject to Visa approval (either approved or refused) and it later quote that applicant MAY commence class online.

If IRCC can't reason with applicants that paid to study in a class then I am sure they wouldn't force them to study online (with additional sum incurred, lack of concentration, inconsistencies, mental state, time zone differences, etc)

Looking at both phrase as tricky as it could be then I see where doubts comes in but nevertheless application would still have to be scrutinized even with AIP or not.

It's a choice to proceed online or wait for full Visa so far admission is still intact.

Let's hope for the best from the lots of stories, guessing, speculations and beliefs.

Just a thought

rebeccausoro:
Thank you. I am starting online too. First class is tomorrow sef. 9pm-11pm. I have subscribed 10gb plans on MTN and GLO. I'm on 4G. I have a laptop with 5 hours+ battery and I can always use the generator if NEPA fails. My phone battery also lasts just in case. My major issue is with the books I may need but my university has a great online library and I can access whatever I need easily.

I am not really afraid for my AIP because I got a medical request too. I just want to do my program and focus on it. I'm going to Canada to study first. Everything is not about PR or PGWP. Yes, I want those too but I want the education more, whether online or not.

But not everyone can afford online classes though. I sympathize with those who have to defer because they cannot afford online lectures or cope with it. All of us will get our TRV soon. Have some faith.

fratermathy:
People rationalise too much. No one is a VO here and people shouldn't cast their gloom upon others. Many are content with starting their programs with an AIP. Others will defer. We don't have to make the AIP a subject of too much debate. Some have it, many others do not.

One thing is certain in this: the fastest way for any country to improve her economy is to open her borders. Canada has not done that yet. It is also clear that with or without the AIP, students are deferring and IRCC is aware of this. Nobody is baiting anyone. They are doing what they can. Applicants should also do what they want.

Personally, I'll advise anyone who has the AIP to start online (especially those in programs that will be completed in 2 or more years). Covid-19 won't go away by next year. Some of these restrictions or hybrid instruction models will still be there. No one can divine what the future will be. Many may choose the negative side of things for one reason or another but I'd rather err on the positive side of things. We are not in normal times. Any progress should be accepted.

To all those starting their programs online as from today, I wish you good luck in everything. Many of us across the world will do same because we know the value of education. May the odds be in your favour!

Zikstar4me:
Hello all, apart from your SOP, what are things you can do in your application to make your home ties appear stronger?

Tonyodg:
SEPTEMBER IS HERE
Happy new month everyone hope this month is fruitful to us all

Tonyodg:
Pray for grace denial without biometrics is real
IT IS NOT MINE !

olasubomy:
Good evening everyone,

I trust you are good and had a great day.

Please i need useful tips on what i can lay claim on to make my home ties argument stronger?

1, Please just to add that i don't have a landed property yet,

2, I cannot get a study leave letter from my current place of work because this would raise eyebrow and they might not approve and i would be seen as a flight risk although, i have gotten a reference letter from them already which i think its enough not to raise suspicion.

I intend doing the below thus;

1, Get Pension account statement and reference letter.

2, Get a letter of attestation and that they are expecting me to resume after my studies from my dad's friends audit firm.

3, Majority of my family including my parents are here in Nigeria except my sister who is living in Dubai due to the nature of her job (air hostess)

Please what do you guys think, will any point above harm my applications and suggestions on more tips please?

Thanks in advance.

Tonyodg:
or ircc gives us good reply this week Amen

Tonyodg:
bro me too I’m really so concerned but for some reasons I’m sure they have touched each and everyone of our applications

Tonyodg:
bro how many days did they use to verify nawa
Sometimes I think the VO sometimes don’t check statement of account if they feel it’s very genuine unless they have doubts
This one shock me

versashee:
Statement of account gotten from the bank. Printed statement with "embassy" stamp from access bank. I submitted two statements from my sponsor. first account has a balance of 11M while the second has 3M approx.

I didn't include my own account statement.

olasubomy:
Good morning all, please whats the current government exchange rate for Canadian dollar to Naira?. I want to be sure i am using the correct rate to calculate tuition fees.
